Depends where in the world you are but generally they are not edible.

Birds like them but prolly better used to make a nice Brit marmalade
They look very much like red currants, Chitty, but preumably they're not. No idea.
dont eat them.....
Berries. Pyracantha berries are mildly poisonous as their seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides (as do apples, plums, cherries, and almonds) and can cause mild gastro-intestinal problems when eaten raw in large quantities; they are edible only when crushed and washed under running water.
They are these as per my above link.
Case solved.
Mushroom season soon Chitty... you know which ones to eat right.?
Norts, the leaf shape is entirely different. There are two types of leaf in Chittys photo, one frond/fern like and a vine like.
My guess is they are redcurrants as per in this pic:
How To Prune Redcurrants And Blackcurrants
No idea. I just did a google pic search. Look same to me.
Red current leaves not even close.
Look more like these to me.
"maple like leaves"
edit...better pic:
Wild Food School - Some Edible & Poisonous BerriesGUELDER ROSE [Viburnum opulus]
A frequent shrubby inhabitant of moist and wet ground. Often growing alongside sallow and alder buckthorn, guelder leaves are maple-like in appearance. Although the berries are edible they MUST be cooked, and are a very good source of vitamin C. That said, they have a peculiar after-taste which needs masking with lots of sugar and/or honey (as one Russian recipe used), while the ripe berries smell rather foul.On the only occasion I made a small amount of jelly from the berries a little of the smell lingered, while the the after-taste reminded me of a cough medicine I'd had when young. Indeed, further research revealed that guelder rose was used in cough medicines.
I would just eat them Chitty then get back to us.
Are the birds eating them? If not, definitely avoid.
The birds are fully occupied eating the chips and kebab leftovers Chitty chucks ot the bedroom window every night
Are the berries growing on bushes or trees, Chitty?
Red currants grow on bushes, usually a bit smaller than black currant bushes, about a metre in height.
